# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- It takes literally five minutes and makes you feel like you invented your own secret menu drink at a soda shop.
- The marbled creamy swirl against bright tropical soda looks stunning without any real effort.
02 -
- Stirring too aggressively will kill the beautiful marbled effect and make it look flat instead of swirled.
- Chilling every liquid ingredient beforehand makes a massive difference in how the flavors come together.
03 -
- Pour the soda slowly down the side of the glass to preserve maximum carbonation and get the best swirl.
- Always check your syrup and soda labels for allergens or hidden gluten if serving to a crowd.
